The Normal Crowd and the Abnormal Light

Photo date: March 9, 2016. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken in Grand Central Terminal in New York. When I zoom in on the group in the front, I can see their faces quite clearly, and their faces look normal.  But what is with that weird twisty light behind them?

The photo was a flash photo, and the EXIF data shows an exposure time of less than a second -- .62 second, although given the flash, the effective exposure time was probably much shorter. This blog has quite a few similar photos in which the exposure time is only 1/30 of a second.
